Its top 10 holdings make up about 46.4% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 455 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Energy (46%). The higher the concentration, the more one stock or sector drives the whole ETF's return.
Structural health
A five-axis read on how this fund is built. It is not a return forecast or a recommendation, and a low score does not mean a bad fund — leveraged products score low by design. Each axis shows the figure behind it.
Concentration is below 1,500 (455), so no single holding dominates.
Energy is 46%, a clear tilt. That industry's swings will drive the fund.
0.65% a year is on the high side — about 6.5% over a decade, so it needs a reason to earn that.
Net assets of $86M are small. Thin funds trade at wider spreads, and very small ones get closed or merged.
A plain 1x physical fund holding the shares themselves — no structural drift from how long you hold it.

Where the weight sits — sector mix
Listed equity weights summed by sector and normalized to 100%. Each band is one sector's share.
Industry breakdown
HHI sums the squared weights. The more it leans on a few names, the higher it goes — and the more the whole ETF moves with them.
How concentrated is it
Concentration (HHI) is low at 455, with the top 10 holdings at just 46.4% of equity weight. No single name can dominate the fund.
Good for damping single-stock risk — and equally, a big winner inside gets diluted.
HHI squares each weight and sums them: 10,000 means one stock is everything, and the more evenly spread the holdings, the closer it falls to zero.
Where the sector weight sits
Sector weights run Energy(46%) · Consumer Discretionary(27%) · Health Care(13%). At 46%, the leading sector is a clear tilt.
Expect it to ride that industry's cycle — ahead of the index in good stretches, behind in bad ones.
Weights above sum the individually listed equities and normalize that equity total to 100%.
How much it overlaps others
It shares 45% of its holdings with MBSX (2 names in common) — close to half the same companies.
Own both and the diversification is thinner than it looks.
What it is made of
The fund holds 106 positions in total; this page lists the largest 22 and folds the rest into "Others".
Equities are 21.4% of the fund, the rest swaps and cash — index exposure built synthetically rather than by owning the shares, which adds counterparty risk.
The expense ratio is 0.65% a year, which is not cheap. Fees come out of returns every year you hold, so it is worth checking whether the same index is available for less.
